Post Office rates make me Irate!

[CasualObserver 3,410]

:D Why / How is it that the USPS can just change their damn rates whenever they feel like it without notifying the general public??? I just had to ship a couple things that I sold on ebay for $1, and I didnt' know the flat rate boxes are up to $8.95, so I only charged the guy $8.10 for shipping (because that's what the flat rate boxes USED to cost when I picked the boxes up a while back) AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH.... No wonder they call it "going postal" !!

ok, I'm better now.

$8.95 now you say?...good to know & thanks for the info.

I'm planning on ebaying some stuff & those flat rate boxes are handy.

Uh, gee, I just shipped a couple of flat rate boxes a couple weeks ago. I'm pretty sure when I printed the labels, it told me it would be $8.95, just like it was quoted to me a couple weeks before that when I went online to check prices. Still cheaper than UPS, depending on weight.

Oh, and to answer your question, can you spell government?

That's all I'm going to say. You all hope!!!!!!!!!

LOL

Ah yes, the government. Under management of Dewey, Cheetum and Howe.

I admit it's my own fault for not looking into it before I did it, but geesh... I didn't honestly think the flat rate boxes had been around long enough yet for the rate to go up! All in all.. I just have to laugh... After it's all said and done, it cost me $1.10 to sell and ship a guy 3 parts that he won for a $1 bid :(

Hey guys, the rates went up back in April.....

I guess since I ship everyday, I kind of keep up with it.
